Short Mimo-style checks built from this lesson's code, terms, and sequence.
Which statement best captures the main point of this lesson?
Complete the missing token from the example code.
___.out.println("Hello World!");Put the learning moves in the order that makes the concept easiest to apply.
Print Text
You learned from the previous chapter that you can use the println() method to output values or print text in Java:
Example
System.out.println("Hello World!");You can add as many println() methods as you want. Note that it will add a new line for each method:
Example
System.out.println("Hello World!");
System.out.println("I am learning Java.");
System.out.println("It is awesome!");Double Quotes
Text must be wrapped inside double quotations marks "" .
If you forget the double quotes, an error occurs:
Example
System.out.println("This sentence will work!");The Print() Method
There is also a print() method, which is similar to println() .
The only difference is that it does not insert a new line at the end of the output:
Example
System.out.print("Hello World! ");
System.out.print("I will print on the same line.");Note that we add an extra space (after "Hello World!" in the example above) for better readability.
In this tutorial, we will only use println() as it makes the code output easier to read.
